That’s right ladies (and men, if so inclined) – toe rings have been nixed for your use if you are not from Southeast Asia, nor can you wear “slave earrings” if you have not descended from, well you know, slaves.

BLM: Black Lobs, Mainly

Why? Because they are a form of cultural appropriation which for some odd reason is not politically correct in the 21st century. In noting this latest ban on all thingss culturally appropriated, Ed Driscoll suggests it may not be okay for minorities such as Barack Obama and Al Sharpton to wear Savile Row-inspired business suits either. Although I note they haven’t always been committed to this Western appropriantion:

Clean shirt, new shoes And I don't know where I am goin' to Silk suit, black tie I don't need a reason why

Gold watch, diamond ring I ain't missin' not a single thing And cufflinks, stick pin When I step out I'm gonna do you in

They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

All of which led me to wonder how far this new cultural appropriation ban will go. Does it mean that African Americans can no longer drive BMWs?

Chinese can’t own Mercedes?

Kobe Brynt can no longer look sharp in Armani?

And Americans aren’t allowed to enjoy a fine French Bordeaux?

What kind of a world is it anyway if Americans can’t eat tacos or sushi, Asians aren’t allowed to eat corn on the cob or hot dogs,

Sorry, Kobayashi, no more Nathan’s hot dog eating championships for you

Germans can’t drink Guinness, and Hispanics are banned from enjoying blinis, caviar and frozen Stoli at the Russian Tea Room?
